here's the thing: i had a brilliant idea yesterday. that is not a sentence i frequently get to write. i was working at home, trying something new, trying to write my way out of the fog that has become the book and it hit me! it was a whole new way to give the book structure, to give the book a raison d'être. truly, from wherever those strokes of genius come from, it had happened to me. but then i realized that i have to have more than the brilliant idea. i have to implement it throughout the entire manuscript and make it live up to its divine inception. ugh. i am really hoping that i am more than what you see.
